Heaven nor hell

Last few years gone by
Time seems to fly.
Of late 
as is fate
I am seeing my due date
My expiration time is coming due
But I do not feel blue
My body is so tired
My wires are coming unwired
Chest been messing with me
Time is something I will not see
Older than I thought I would ever be
Have gathered all my writings here
Cause I have fear
My time is near
I wish for no Dr. to fix me
This is how it should be
Of this world I do not belong
Same ol song
Wherever I go
So I know
It is always the same
No one do I blame
I have not taken my meds in a year
I shed no tear
I have seen things many never will
Still
People toss me aside
So I hide
The lost and lonely is where I abide
I have tried
To do right
But seems such a fight
I want nothing at all
Life shudders and starts to stall
Fall to my knees 
No one there to hear my pleas 
Strength ebbing fast
Maybe it is my time at last
Heart
Feel it is coming apart
Breath hurts to come out
I try to shout
Lights fade
Through the darkness I wade
My time is at hand
I do understand
I awake
A breath I take
I fear
I'm still here
How can that be
Far as I can see
I am wanted no where
Seems so unfair
But I can see why
This is what makes me cry
No human wants me around
So I have found 
Heaven nor hell,.. want me not
So in this hell I rot
